I assume you're talking about Pazzo when you say "he"? Pazzo hasn't been banned and he won't be banned while he's behaving himself, which he's managed to do just fine since his last warning. In any case donating to the site doesn't protect you from it's rules. Personally, I don't bother sending a PM after deleting some trivial post. If there's a major clean up of a thread I'll post in the thread so everyone is aware of what has happened and what we expect from people from that point on. I know there's a group that complains about the Mods here, but at the end of the day there's not many people that have gotten in severe trouble. Yes, we delete a few posts here and there and the odd warning gets handed out, but very few people get banned in the scheme of things. The 2 that got banned for street racing talk were give heaps of chances to stop and chose not to. They can't complain about it now. There's other car forums that will ban you straight off the bat. I know people that have been banned from AFF after making one post.
